Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Wakatsuru Brewery

Wakatsuru Brewery was established in 1918.
Thanks to the blessings of Hokuriku's nature and the connection with people, we were able to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our company this year.
In commemoration of that, we made specially-blended whisky from carefully-selected unblended whiskies of all ages such as malt whisky distilled in Saburomaru Distillery in 1960 and others including grain whisky aged in Mongolian oak barrels produced in Toyama prefecture.
Its multilayered taste and complex afterglow built through the years last longer in unison.
